    i remember reading that communist/socialist politicians in the 3rd world did vows to cut their wage to only a standard wage or the normal wage of for example a teacher, in solidary wth the workers and donating the rest to union funds, labour struggles or to their party.

    im pretty sure the trots in argentina do it to name a few

    of course belden is not a congressman, but im mostly mentioning it because i think the dude in the screenshot maybe got the idea from this

      sankara-salute also did it. He only owned a car, guitar and fridge if I remember correctly. And gave away the government fleet of executive cars.

        Full-time politicians from the Danish Red-Greens pays anything they get above the salary of a metal worker as a party tax to fund the party.
